The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has officially released the authentic English text of the Income Tax Act, 2023 through a gazette notification dated 8 October 2025.
Originally enacted in Bangla, the Income Tax Act, 2023 replaced the previous Income Tax Ordinance, 1984 in June 2023, marking a major shift in Bangladesh’s direct tax regime. Since its enactment, stakeholders, particularly foreign investors and multinational entities, have been requesting an official English version to ensure uniform interpretation, consistency, and ease of application in cross-border tax and compliance matters.
